What is meant by brake pedal pads?
It would be the rubber pad that sits on your brake pedal. Unless they were referring to brake pads, which are the pads which enables your vehicle to stop by pressing the brake pedal.
What happens when you run out of brake fluid?
The brake pedal will go to the floor but will have absolutely no effect on stopping the vehicle. When you push on the brake pedal it moves the fluid through metal tubes (called brake lines) to force the brake pads against the rotor which slows and stops the car. No fluid means nothing is in there to make the brake pads engage the rotors.
Can you tell me what brake pads are?
Brake pads are the pads that sit on top of the rotor that when the brake pedal is pressed the brake pads squeeze the rotor and the car stops. Signs that they need replacing are if you hear squeaking when pressing the brake pedal.

You put on new brake pads and the peddle go to floor?
You have to pump the brakes a few times after changing brake pads to take up the extra space until the pad touches the rotor. In extreme cases, you may have gotten air in the system and need to bleed the brakes. Make sure the reservoir stays full of brake fluid as you pump the brake pedal.

A brake pedal going directly to the floor is a sign of a few things. First, you are in need of brake fluid. Second, the brake pads are probably almost worn out. They may be worn out past the point the ABS light would be active. The ABS light may also be burned out.
Why does your 2004 Mazda 3 brake peddle go to the floor after changing rear brakes pads?
When you rotated the rear caliper pistons inward to create extra gap for the new, thicker, pads, you created extra space. When you hit the brake pedal, the piston is now rotating outward with each pump of the pedal to fill the space between the rotor and pads. When you pump the pedal, you're pushing the fluid back into the calipers until the pads and rotors meet. When this occurs, the pedal becomes firm again.
How do you change front brake pads 2004 Camry?
You need to remove the brake calipers, make sure that you push back the caliper pistons (monitor level of the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir, you might have to get rid of some). After that install you pads. Make sure that you have tighten everything properly. Press the brake pedal to check if your brakes are working. PS: Never press the brake pedal if brake system is not completely assembled.
